Ok, so at first I did not buy this punch when it was available. I thought "I'll never use it," and "it looks like a lot of work!" Well, it is a lot of work, but the results are adorable. I have seen others use it on projects and I finally broke down and bought it. My mom is an owl collector and it's her birthday, so I knew that I had to use it on her birthday card. My advice is to use a liquid glue to assemble the owl, but only use a little at a time. Thanks for looking!!

I have been making wipe containers for all the baby showers I've been to recently. These are really easy and fun to make. You just cover the top lid with a bit of batting before covering with fabric. I will say that using a hot glue gun is the easiest way to cover these. I have tried other glues and I like the hot glue the best. I added buttons and a bit of bling to these before giving them away. Thanks for looking!!!

**Tip** strechy fabric is not advised! The denim I bought was strechy and it was very difficult to get it smooth and even and the fabric did not cut very nicely. I used corduroy on the chocolate and regular cotton for the zebra and both did beautiful.

I guess 8 months ago was the time to get pregnant here in Texas because I have been to 4 baby showers in the last month. Of course I did not go out and buy a card or many gifts......I made them. I posted THIS baby shower card that I made for the first one a couple of weeks ago. I have been making altered variations of it since. The Fox and Friends set is perfect for baby showers.

Here is one that I made for a shower in which the baby's room theme was Monkeys:

I used Chocolate Chip craft ink to stamp the monkey and then applied clear embossing powder directly on top of it. I heat set it and applied more layers until I was happy with the coverage and the sheen. The Craft Ink works really well as an embossing base.

I made this diaper cake as a gift. It is a smaller version and it was much easier to make.

This card I did for another shower and stayed with the same design and stamp sets.

Thanks for looking. If you have any questions, please let me know!!!

A friend of mine recently had a baby shower and I decided to make a diaper cake for her cake table. This is only my second diaper cake to ever make, but I really liked the way this one turned out. I bought lots of things to go on the diaper cake, but after I put it together, I decided that I didn't like the way that any of the lotions and other baby items looked. So I decided not to use any of it. There is a bottle of baby shampoo in the center of the top 3 tiers. My husband thinks that I should start making these and selling them. They really are a lot of fun! If you have any questions, just let me know. Thanks for looking!

Wow, there are so many baby showers lately! I just realized that I don't have a specific baby shower stamp set. I have several that say something along the lines of "congrats on your new baby" but that's more for something after the baby is born. Guess I'll be adding that stamp set to my next order! Here is a card that I made for a shower I went to last week. Thanks for looking!
